Seats
The majority of triple buggies start life as single pushchairs, but some models can be converted to accommodate a second seat or carrycot with adapters (these are more commonly found in tandem buggies).

Suspension
The suspension of a double 3-wheel buggy will determine the ease with which you and your child/children are able to push it. It is crucial to have a smooth ride because babies can feel every bump in the road. This is especially the case if you're driving on rough terrain, such as grass or unpaved roads. Some models have locking front tires that aid in maneuvering and navigating obstacles like curbs.
Some models use air-filled tyres which will provide a fantastic all-terrain experience, but they can be susceptible to punctures, so ensure you have spares in the trunk. Certain models come with foam or gel-filled tyres that are designed to cushion bumps. They can be less likely to puncture, but they could cause discomfort for your child if they decide to run.

Folding
A three-wheeled double buggy can be folded easily to store it. There are options that fold flat and then stand up (as as if they're in a pushchair position) as well as those that pop open to reveal more of an umbrella-style fold with the option of a brake operated by hand. In general the more wheels a buggy comes with, the easier it will be to navigate over rough terrain. This is particularly applicable when the wheels are larger than average. This will provide you with more stability and reduce the chance that your child will fall over or tip over.
The iCandy Wave is a popular option. It can be used in conjunction with an infant car seat from birth, and later converted to a double buggy after your child has reached the age of. It is a

Storage
One thing that people love about a quality
3 wheel double buggy is the storage capacity. Certain models, such as the Roma Atlas, have a large basket, as well as two zip pockets on the hood, where you can keep your phone and keys.

Other models, like the UPPAbaby Vista 2, offer plenty of space and the flexibility to transport twins or a child and a toddler. (This is possible thanks to their 'PiggyBack' board).

It can also accommodate the form of a car seat or a carrycot, so you get the best of both worlds and it will help your budget in the future since you don't need to invest in another buggy as soon as you get it.
